finally got round to testing some .22LR sub sonic tonight
i tried RWS subsonic, SK subsonic 325m/s and sk ultra subsonic @ 260m/s
the sk ultra subs had so much drop off they looked like the arch of a good ol WW2 bomb drop! completely useless under 15m i reckon, but good for a laugh.
both the rws and sk subs performed reasonably well with slightly over MOA @ 25m.(on a good day i get half moa with SK Plus Standard Velocity wit my CZ @ 25m and 50m)
i was however very surprised that, at the bolt, the noise difference was not that much - at least not to my ears.
i fired a few rounds off of each and then some SK Plus standard velocity as well as some standard CCI's and there wasn't that much difference.
I am presuming though that the extent of the noise down range or around me would be a more marked difference?
After mashing through a bunch more subs, one dude did comment on how quiet it was, so maybe its just because i got my head stuck right near the bolt that i cant tell the difference!! (ps, i had no ear protection on)
Anyway, i'll probably stick with the SK subs (325m/s) for the quiet time bunnies and SK Standard Plus if noise is not an issue.
cheers
